Awesome. The power of the internet. This is action that protesting just can't quite compete with. You are seeing the real modern warfare right here. WW3 will be at least partially digitized.

This is plain awesomeness. I know the fat kid with the lightsabor is doing his dance...but do you guys think its a matter of time before the someone with authority gives orders to start invading the houses of geeks/nerds/hackers with swat teams?

Are they going to invade the house of everyone that peruses 4chan? That's like hundreds of thousands of people. Plus this attack is bigger than just 1 website.

yeah i figured that but if this keeps up I think the government would try to at least arrest one or two people just to show that their trying to do something...but lets hope it doesnt go down that road.

I'd rather things go down that road and lines be drawn clearly right now when the spotlight is on, than the quiet encroachment of censorship on the internet that's been happening for a while now.
